Nonlinear Guide Projection of Aluminum Discs by Means of an Electromagnetic Launcher

Abstract

Mechanical technology makes wide use of the separation and transfer of non-magnetic materials in various production manufacturing processes. This paper describes the fundamentals of projection, separation, and transfer of aluminum sheets as non-magnetic materials (for example aluminum disc), using a magnetic repulsion force, by means of a solenoid-type electromagnetic launcher.
The key points of this paper are as follows:
(1) Linear projection of Al discs.
(2) Nonlinear projection of Al discs.
(3) Nonlinear guide projection of Al discs.
